Types of SIGMA Industrial Manipulators

Pneumatic Cable-Type Manipulators

Pneumatic Cable-Type Manipulators high flexibility of use in any working conditions:

• fast and reliable operation,
• smooth speed regulation,
• optimized for repetitive cycles and continuous operation,
• safe and ergonomic handling of loads.

Pneumatic Manipulators with Rigid Arm Systems (Parallelogram Manipulators)

Ideal for demanding operations and heavy loads. They use stable construction, providing:

• high load capacity,
• high precision level,
• smooth arm movement,
• suitable for loads with irregular shapes,
• ideal for demanding industrial environments.

Intelligent Manipulators (IAD – Intelligent Assist Devices)

Advanced devices that:

• offer electronically assisted control,
• reduce operator’s effort through sensor based control systems,
• follow the user’s movements,
• increase work pace while maintaining full control,
• eliminate handling errors and improve repeatability,
• provide the possibility of integration with internal logistics systems.

Applications of Industrial Manipulators

SIGMA industrial manipulators are used for handling:

• Drums, bags, cartons, and boxes
• Metal components, enclosures, profiles
• Rolls, bobbins, and cylindrical loads
• Glass panes, windows, and glazed components
• Boards, panels, and large‑format materials
• Furniture and automotive components

Thanks to dedicated vacuum, magnetic, mechanical, and hybrid grippers, our manipulators adapt to different materials and geometries, making them suitable for nearly any industrial sector.

Benefits of Implementing SIGMA Manipulators

Increased Efficiency and Shorter Cycle Times

Manipulators streamline lifting and positioning processes, increasing operation speed and repeatability.

Health Protection and Ergonomics

Reduced physical strain on employees, fewer injuries, and improved workplace ergonomics.

Precision and Handling Safety

Stable load handling, reduced risk of dropping, and controlled horizontal and vertical movements.

Flexibility in Integration

Installation options include:

• Column‑mounted
• Portable (mobile) column‑mounted
• Roof‑mounted or overhead rail gantry systems
• Integration with existing in‑house equipment

What Does Cooperation with SIGMA S.A. Look Like?

1. Technical Audit: We analyze your industrial process, workstation layout, media availability, and the type of load being handled.
2. Concept Development: Our R&D department designs a tailor‑made industrial manipulator or recommends another optimal device — from lifting capacity to specific gripping and control logic.
3. Gripper Prototyping: We create dedicated end-effectors for the manipulator and test them using the customer’s actual components.
4. Integration: We install the system at the workstation using the optimal mounting configuration, ensuring full compatibility with the existing infrastructure.
